A mother's tears
Is something I dread to see. I pray silently every single day that I don’t have to see anymore tears.

2010: In A Nutshell
Everyone is writing about his or her final thoughts of this year, 2010. I suppose I can share my personal account. This is my least favorite year in the span of my twenty years on earth. I am not attempting to make myself sound so overly dramatic. For the followers who have read from the beginning of the year till now, you understand my frustrations. As for those who recently befriended me, there...
Tumble Through Thursday!
My apologies for forgetting the last entry. Therefore I will share double.
My name is spelled Malissa. I honestly prefer it this way. I changed the spelling when I got to college because of some errors with my records. I am going back to my original spelling, so please replace MALESSA with MALISSA.
I don’t smoke weed. The only weed I “smoked” is through an open window of my...

enter-galactic:
The whole concept of it all. I had never been to a funeral until today. And i had never lost someone close to me until recently. Seeing the photo of my grandpa got to me. Seeing his cold, still body got to me even more and I couldn’t hold it in any longer. We made bets on who would cry first. In…
I have to agree with you. I’ve been to many funerals but it is hits...

Stoning of Women #2
I apologize for being brief on the previous blog.
The Stoning of Soraya M.
The movie begins with a man walking into the home of Soraya, the protagonist of the film. He offers her the position of a “temporary wife” because Soraya’s husband has decided to divorce her for a younger 14 year old girl. Soraya declines the offer of becoming the temporary wife because she has no...
College Chapter
My college chapter is slowly coming to an end. Well, sort of?
Not including Winter quarter, I have roughly 15 classes left to take for my double major! I have 4-5 quarters left to do it. I am planning to do double sessions of summer school so I can take only 12 units for the remaining 3 quarters.
My plans for those remaining quarters are to work on my journalism internships and to apply for...
Stoning of Women
The Stoning of Soraya M.
The movie takes place in Iran around 1986. While the movie is a culture shock for me, the storyline articulates a larger message for women of all walks of life. It is hard to believe that in modern times, we still have women who are stripped of all their rights. Some women remain servants to their husbands,sons, and so forth. Of course, I understand there are specific...
Tumblr Through Thursday #2
It’s Thursday!
Questions & Answers day.
I leave my boyfriend’s house at 8:50-9:10 to see the fireworks at Disneyland when I am driving home. I can’t afford an annual pass because of this recession.
I went to Cambodia when I was 13 and I got food poisoning from the corn I ate in front of the Royal palace in Phnom Penh.
xswtsk8ergirlx used to be my AIM screen name because...
Classy much?
Note: This is a general observation & I am not cat calling anyone.
Ladies, let’s get mature here.
I am tired of seeing beautiful young ladies objectified through the media and cyberspace. I understand there is art and there is pornography.
Art: the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing...

A Blessing
My face is slowly healing and I am starting to see my jawline. Yay me!
Warning: Lovey-dovey stuff ahead
I am quite fortunate to have a wonderful man in my life. Seriously, he is someone that I can vibe with and it never gets old. He takes care of me better than anyone I know, including my mom. ( Yay, for sons of nurses!) He comes into my kitchen and cooks me bomb soup for lunch. He will watch...

Tumble Through Thursdays #1
Every Thursday, I am allowing my friends and tumblr followers to get to know more about me. You can even ask questions even if you don’t have a tumblr.

I am half Cambodian & half Vietnamese. I’ve been raised mainly Cambodian but I can read/write...

Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Probably isn’t the smartest thing you should remove during finals week. I honestly wanted to get it done asap. I rather have it now than in January. I am doing pretty good. My cheeks aren’t that swollen.
I got my stuff ready and I was out the door by 11:30am. My mom was driving me to the oral surgeon. I paid and I was in the chair. I was honestly shaking so much. The guys in the...
I want tumblr to work… :(
Ongoings.
I think my blog is just a mix of everything right now.
A little personal, a little artsy, a little wacky, and a little educational.
I am sort of lazy to make separate blogs. However, I am going back to my web design days. I realize I haven’t done much with layout in such a long time. Mainly, I want to get a photography website up and going so I can start documenting my progression.
Hint....

while my mother is working and struggling to help her children survive because that’s the only reason she would live in this hell of a life. we lost everything from one selfish man. our home, our money, our lives. if i had no conscience, if i could possibly do all the things i have in my psychotic…
AMEN to that. It deserves a reblog.
WatchThis is for my Washington cousins. I have a feeling when someone gets married up there, it will be like this.
WatchI appreciate wedding videographers. I seriously enjoy watching these sorts of videos on my free time. It gets me really amped with working on my own photography.
